Show transcript
A colon has two functions - it can introduce a list or an explanation. A dash can also introduce an explanation.
A semi-colon has two functions - to separate detailed items in a list or to join two closely-related main clauses.
Using colons and semi-colons can improve text cohesion.
Bullet points are useful in certain non-fiction texts.
Hyphens are used to join two or more words or parts of words together.
